Since this is Pengaz: Does this band fit the exact same as the Fitbit band? Water proof?

Yes, it is waterproof. I've used it for a week, showering every day, washing dishes,etc. and it does appear to be waterproof.

The material feels the same as far as I can tell. If you put your arm under water with either this or the original Fitbit brand you'll get a little water in the opening where the Fitbit goes. But the Fitbit is safe to about 30 feet so I wouldn't be concerned unless you are deep sea diving. (Or throwing it off a bridge.) I never take mine off when showering or bathing. The original ones, that is - I just got this new one.

I'm not sure. I've used it for my Flex, but don't own a FitBit One. Sorry to not be of more help!

Mine is fine......I think that you might have stretched it to much when you put the little tracker in place. It only fits one way and it took me awhile to remember just how it went......and now it slips in easy without any ouching and pulling and definitely not stretching......I had to buy another band because the original band broke from being in the same position all of the time....at least that is what I think.

The fitbit one is water resistant whereas the fitbit ultra, apparently, is not. Additionally the fitbit one syncs automatically with some phones whereas the fitbit ultra only syncs when you are close to a base station thing you have to plug into our computer. Finally, the fitbit one has a silent alarm (it vibrates to wake you up), it's a little bit smaller than the ultra, and you can't clip it directly to your clothes like you can with the ultra so you have to use the holster that it comes with. It seems like a lot of people have had trouble with the one falling out of the holster, though, so be really careful to wear it somewhere you won't lose it.

This is straight from Jawbone's website: "Your band is rain, splash, sweat, and shower-resistant, but we recommend taking it off before swimming." However, you could still time your swimming with the band and then enter the date about the activity and exertion level.

I wouldn't buy one at all. They break quickly, and while they will send you a replacement, after the third one, when you are tired of going through that over and over, they won't give you a refund. You are better off with a fitbit or other product. If you insist on buying this, go for the bigger size of you are in between.

No, only the FitBit Flex is water proof. The Zip is water resistant to sweat, rain, and puddles, but not to submersion in pools.

Paul, I'm not sure about "waterproof" - I do want to alert you that the bracelet version we got has a REALLY CHEAP Clasp. It broke after my wife Terry wore it for about a day and half. We were (are) very disappointed as it turned out. Just wanted to give you a "heads up", and hope it's helpful.Dan Murphy

I don't know because I don't swim with my watch. I do take shower wearing the watch and it is Just fine! HRM gets detected immediately when I water the strap and wrap it around chest. Hope this helps...you may want to check with other reviewers.

As far as the watch being waterproof...Timex says it is 50- meter water resistance... As far as the band they give you a 800 number in case you need a replacement.... Hope this helps

My wrist is 13.8 cm and I like the small size. It's not tight but it can move about an inch on my lower arm. I had a Fit Bit One but forgot I was wearing it when I went swimming, and it died. Then I bought Fit Bit Flex and lost it after a couple of days, but found it only to lose it again permanently two weeks later. I don't think the Jawbone would catch on something and come off my wrist without me being aware of it. And by being on my wrist I'm aware of it enough that I don't think I'd forget to take it off before I went swimming.

Shelia, on the back of the band there is a whole that the fit bit will fit into. When changing bands you just push the fitbit device out and place it into the fitbit band of color choice.

Thanks everyone for all your input. I was about to purchase the BB but am now decided on the GWF. But does anyone know if this is waterproof and can be worn while swimming?

No this does not fall out of the band, or at least it never has for me and I changed the band from the one that it was it was in originally. It came with 2 size bands and I needed to switch to the smaller one. Now my fitbit that hooked on to the waist band would frequently pop out if you were doing a lot of bending to pick things up.

No. That's not normal. I'd contact the Fitbit help desk who are really helpful and will help you sort it out.
